Summary

Running Back Rank: #9All Players: #12

Foster landed seven games because of a back injury, which eventually required surgery. He didn't produce too badly before getting injured, having two 100-yard games and 725 total yards with two touchdowns. Foster is 28 years old and battled injury the last few seasons. He has a ton of carries under his belt and you have to wonder how much he really has left in the tank. He will be the No. 1 back in this offense as long as he is healthy, though. When healthy, Foster is a complete back. The Texans will change offenses this season with a new coach in place but expect the team to remain run heavy, which is good news for Foster. Foster has size, speed, vision and plus hands. He does a great job of setting his blocks and hitting the hole in a hurry.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Injury Concern
Foster isn't near the back of the last few years. He is an injury risk on the downside of his career. We still think he can top 1,000 yards but don't expect him to be a top-five fantasy back any more. He is more a low-end No. 1 or top No. 2 at this stage of his career. He can get around 1,200 total yards and 10 touchdowns.
